which
was
taken

&
it
is
well
knowen

that
to
hide
the
losse
of
their
Admiral
ship
,
they
say
he
put
himselfe
in
a
smaller
ship
the
better

moued

come
to
his
Maiestie
from
the
happie
fleete
,
whereof
is
Generall
the
Duke
of
Medina
,
in
the
conquest
of
England
.
7
THat
vpon
the
thirtieth
of
Iuly
,
without
seeing
any
sayle
of
the
enemies
in
the
sea
,
hee
came
to
the
Channell
,
sixe
leagues
from
Plimmouth
:
where
vnderstanding
the
enemies
were
,
hee
gathered
together
and
set
in
order
all
the
fleete
:
and
sayling
the
first
of
August
,
there
was
discouered
some
sayles
of
the
enemies
,
the
which
the
second
day
were
nombred
to
bee
lx.
saile
,
of
which
the
Duke
tooke
the
wind
,
&
passed
without
any
fight
,
although
he
presented
the
same
to
them
,
howbeit
they
began
to
shoot
at
the
Rereward
:
but
the
Duke
in
the
Galleon
S.
Martin
,
set
the
Prow
of
his
ship
against
the
biggest
of
the
enemies
,
the
which
being
succoured
by
twenty
others
,
fled
away
:
of
this
fight
and
first
encounter
,
there
was
sunke
three
Galeasses
,
&
foure
mighty
Galeons
of
the
Queenes
:
there
was
burnt
of
ours
by
negligence
of
a
Gunner
,
the
Admiral
of
Oquendo
,
&
the
enemies
tooke
the
chiefe
ship
of
Don
Pedro
Valdez
,
which
being
entangled
with
others
vnder
his
charge
:
was
left
without
tackle
,
and
so
neere
the
enemies
,
that
she
coulde
not
be
succoured
by
others
.
With
this
,
our
fleete
seeing
that
the
enemie
in
euery
point
did
flie
from
giuing
battell
,
they
sailed
with
some
calme
weather
,
&
the
enemies
after
them
,
shooting
alwayes
at
the
Rereward
,
vntil
the
seuenth
,
that
our
fleet
ancored
in
the
Roade
of
S.
Iohn
,
betwixt
Calleis
&
Bollin
,
nine
leagues
from
Dunkerke
,
&
the
enemies
did
the
like
,
the
neerest
they
could
to
England
.
The
night
being
approched
,
the
enemies
got
vp
their
ankers
,
to
get
the
wind
,
and
not
to
suffer
our
shippes
to
goe
out
of
the
Roade
to
sea
,
because
they
had
trimmed
viii
.
ships
of
fire
,
which
with
the
corrent
of
the
water
,
should
haue
put
them selues
amongst
our
ships
,
to
haue
burnt
them
.
But
my
Lord
the
Duke
,
foreseeing
the
danger
,
preuented
them
,
with
commandement
that
the
shippes
that
were
neerest
,
should
cut
their
Cables
,
&
to
take
vp
the
others
with
a
readinesse
vncredible
:
and
with
this
the
enemies
pretence
was
hindered
,
and
so
got
the
sea
most
brauely
,
and
with
such
good
fortune
,
that
if
he
had
not
done
it
,
our
armie
should
haue
ben
in
euil
case
,
for
in
the
very
place
which
we
left
,
there
was
shotte
off
by
them
,
out
of
those
fierie
ships
,
such
fires
,
&
other
engins
,
that
were
sufficient
to
burne
the
Sea
,
much
more
,
ships
which
are
made
of
wood
and
pitch
.
In
this
departure
,
the
Captaine
of
the
Galeasses
had
a
great
mischance
:
for
getting
vp
her
Anker
,
a
Cable
fel
foule
of
her
Helme
,
that
she
could
not
follow
the
rest
,
which
caused
one
of
her
sides
to
lie
so
hie
,
that
her
ordinance
could
not
play
,
and
so
xxv
.
Pinases
came
and
battered
her
,
and
withall
this
,
if
the
mariners
,
souldiers
,
&
rowers
that
were
in
her
,
had
not
cast
themselues
into
the
sea
,
it
is
holden
for
certaine
,
that
(
m
)
Don
Hugo
de
Moncada
had
defended
her
,
as
he
did
vntil
she
came
into
Calleis
,
where
at
the
entrance
thereof
,
he
was
killed
of
two
Caliuer
shot
,
the
people
on
shore
defended
the
Galeasse
,
&
all
that
was
in
her
,
and
deliuered
the
same
to
our
Soueraigne
Lord
the
Kings
ministers
.
At
this
time
,
the
Duke
had
a
very
franke
wind
,
&
the
like
had
the
Queenes
Fleete
:
and
so
they
both
passed
by
the
sight
of
Dunkerke
,
insomuch
as
they
on
land
knew
the
Gallion
S.
Martin
,
and
others
that
went
fighting
with
the
English
armie
,
and
in
this
order
they
went
till
the
twelfth
.
Afterwards
they
write
,
that
there
came
into
Calleis
a
ship
,
which
saith
,
that
the
(

xii

day
they
did
see
the
two
Fleetes
together
in
fight
:
an
other
which
came
afterwardes
,
said
hee
had
seene
some
ships
spoiled
and
torne
,
&
from
them
they
threw
out
(
o
)
their
baggage
which
they
saued
in
boats
,
which
argueth
,
they
were
ships
of
the
enemies
,
for
that
our
men
had
no
place
to
saue
them selues
,
nor
there
were
none
of
them
arriued
into
Flanders
,
which
was
their
place
of
returne

THe
Gouernour
of
Roan
is
accompted
a
worthy
noble
man
,
and
therefore
he
shall
do
wel
to
make
this
report
of
him
to
bee
knowen
for
a
lie
:
for
so
surely
he
knoweth
it
to
be
,
that
there
was
neuer
either
a
chiefe
Pilote
or
the
value
of
a

of
Captaine
Drakes
taken
and
brought

as

.
The
Gouernours
of
Bollen
and
Calleis
can
informe
the
Gouernour
of
Roan
,
how
false
a
report
it
was
,
that
the
English
Armie
remained
ouerthrowen
afore
Calleis
:
the
English
armie
fought
with
the
Spanish
,
chased
the
Spanish
as
a
brace
of
Greyhounds
would
a
herde
of
Deere
:
the
Spaniards
ships
were
beaten
,
spoyled
,
burnt
,
sunke
,
some
in
the
maine
seas
afore
Dunkirke
,
some
afore
Flushing
,
and
the
rest
chased
away
,
so
as
they
fledde
continually
afore
the
English
Nauie
in
their
best
order
for
strength
,
without
daring
to
abide
any
fight
:
yea
,
some
one
of
the
English
shippes
fought
with
3.
of
their
Galleasses
,
the
Spaniards
neuer
attempting
to
board
any
English
,
but
as
many
of
them
as
coulde
saile
away
,
fled
with
all
their
sailes
,
&
were
followed
by
the
English
,
vntil
they
were
chased
out
of
all
the
English
seas
,
and
forced
then
to
runne
a
violent
course
about
Scotland
,
and
so
to
Ireland
,
where
a
great
number
of
their
ships
are
drowned
,
their
men
taken
,
and
many
killed
by
the
sauage
people
for
their
spoyle
,
and
the
English
Nauie
vpon
good
consideration
left
them
,
when
they
sawe
them
so
hastily
to
flie
desperatly
into
the
Northren
daungerous
Seas
,
where
the
English
Nauie
did
very
certainely
know
that
there
would
be
no
safety
for
them
to
folow
the
Spanish
.
Why
durst
any
report
that
22.
English
shippes
were
sunke
,
and
40.
were
taken
,
when
in
trueth
there
was
not
any
one
of
the
English
shippes
sunke
or
taken
?
A
strange
disposition
,
to
forge
such
great
lyes
,
whereof
there
was
no
ground
,
nor
colour
.
If
any
one
or
two
of
the
English
had
bene
sunke
,
a
lyar
might
haue
put
the
nomber
of
20.
for
2.
and
excused
the
lye
by
error
of
figuring
:
but
of
none
in
nomber
,
no
nomber
can
bee
made
,
but
by
falshood
.
The
Gouernour
of
Roan
being
a
man
of
great
honour
and
vertue
,
ought
to
reuenge
this
shamefull
lye
made

for

neuer

these

THis

hath

a

it

that

had
taken
Armes
against
the

Such
a
lie
did
Mendoza
publish
some
yeres

that

had

wonne
Barwicke

But
a

it

,
that

at
the

meant

made
a
generall
Proclamation

no

the

commaunded

that

this

is
it

,
that
the

can
tell
the

other

for
else
he
had
no

He
also
wil
not

that
eyther
three

Galleons

sunk

that
euer
hee
coulde

He

neuer

men

victuals
,

,
as
might
haue
made
a
good

and
great
pitie
it
is
for
Christendome

that
both
that

that
which
remaineth
had
not

who
if

THis
that
is
sayd
of
the
Dukes
grapling
with
Drakes
ship
,
and
taking
of
him
captiue
,
and
many
other
Noble

of
England
,
is
like
all
the
rest
of
the
lyes

The
Duke
after
hee
went
from
Calleis
towards
Scotland
,
neuer
came
neere
to
offer
fight
with
any
English
shippe
,
neuer
turned
backe
to
the
English
that
followed
him
,
but
fledde
away
as
winde
and
sayle
could
serue
him
.
If
he
had
this
fortune
thus
falsely
reported
,
it
is
sure
that
hee
would
haue
brought
both
Drake
and
some
of
the
Noble
men
home
with
him
into
Spaine
,
to
haue
beene
presented
to
the
king
,
and
not
to
haue
gone
home
to
his
owne
house
without
sight
of
the
King
.
But
in
truth
,
there
was
not
one
Noble
man
,
or
Gentleman
of
any
Marke
that
went
to
the
sea
,
that
was
either
slaine
or
taken
:
all
are
liuing
,
and
are
as
willing
,
by
Gods
fauour
,
to
aduenture
their
liues
,
as
euer
they
were
against
any
of
the
Queens
enemies
,
when
she
shal
command
them

And
where
these
newes
did
much
content
the
King
,
it
is
likely
that
if
he
thought
them
true
,
he
was
glad
thereof
,
for
so
had
his
Maiestie
cause
:
but
hee
is
thought
too
wise
,
to
haue
thought
,
that
after
hee
vnderstoode
that
the
Duke
and
all
his
armie
had
fled
from
the
coast
of
Flanders
&
England
,
that
euer
they
were
like
to
haue
any
victorie
of
the
English
,
No
,
contrariwise
the
King
and
all
his
wise
Counsellours
had
cause
to
lament
the
dangers
,
whereunto
of
necessitie
his
Armada
should
fall
by
passing
the
dangerous
coastes
,
Ilandes
,
&
monstruous
rockes
of
Scotland
,
&
Ireland
,
of
more
danger
for
his
Nauie
to
passe
,
then
to
haue
passed
from
Lisborne
to
the
Moloccas
,
and
home
againe
.
It
is
to
be
thought
,
that
if
the
Empresse
gaue
the
secretarie
Ydiaques
any
rewarde
for
the
newes
,
as
it
is
likely
shee
did
:
she
may
iustly
require
it
againe
from
him
,
and
giue
him
charge
not
to
bring
her
Maiestie
,
nor
the
King
his
master
any
such
notorious
lyes
hereafter
:
for
if
he
vse
it
often
,
he
is
vnworthie
to
be
Secretarie
to
so
great
a
King
.
